Homebrew CitrAGB - 3DS GBA Emulator (WIP)

[Kikirini]

Is that not just the nature of the emulator though? Even on my 9.9 N3DS with ninjhax 2.0, only a few games are actually playable. I tried mega man zero, advance wars, pokemon emerald, super mario advance 2...they're all slideshows. Maybe I'm using an old citragb build? I'm using the one that came packaged in smea's ninjhax 2.0.

What he's saying is that this emulator, like many others, got a speed boost when run on a n3ds. O3ds does not have that speed, at the moment. On Ninjhax 1, dynarec ran some games fairly well, but that won't work on Ninjhax 2.
Edit: noticed you mentioned having an N3ds. Download the latest build here and you should have better luck with some games.

aww man. It's not a simple matter of ROM trimming like when we used to trim PSP ISOs back in the day to save storage space? This is literally the only game I want to play

Mother 3 is packed to the brim, leaving almost no room to cut in the first place. Also, Mother 3 is coded in a very odd way, making it hard to disassemble and edit it, so we couldn't compress it.

Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced runs quite well, nearly full speed most of the time. However, the audio sometimes glitches up and plays an entire octave lower than it normally should. I haven't tried all the levels yet, so I'm not sure how the surfing levels will fare out.

Edit: Mode 7 surfing levels work fine, but the isometric atlas sphere levels lag to the point that the level is hardly playable.

Yeah the n3ds really screams on nh2. My benchmarks show a 3x increase in cpu speed on single-threaded cpu stuff. (makes you wonder about the same 268Mhz claim on 3dbrew being correct)

I recall a Neogaf user mentioning a developer saying the same thing. While not hard proof in and of itself being second hand info, the fact that a single-threading increase rumor has been mentioned elsewhere on the net by people involved with the hardware indicates that you might be onto something.

Any word on the .cia version?

He just got back from Japan. I should expect the .cia version to take a while longer.

Oh, didnt know that. Ive been itching for some Buus Fury and since Smea didnt release the OoTHax I have no way to do so except with my GW card, but I sure hope it happens!

 

[Kikirini]

.cia or not, it'd also be nice to see further improvements. I know save states would make me happy.

I just got ironhax installed, and when I try to run citragb, on the bottom of the screen I get a red screen and nothing happens.

same as maplemage! installed ironhax, have everything in the right place on the sd card, and I get a black top screen and a red bottom screen. I redownloaded the files, too. my 3ds isn't modified in any way, other than ironhax. on 9.9.0-26U, old 3ds.

edit: also, I saw that it didn't run for some people on sdhc cards, so I moved everything that mattered from my 16gb sdhc to a 2gb sd card, but it didn't make a difference.

 

[Electric91]

Same here!!

 

[RickBruiser]

Red screen of death for me too.

You guys sure you have boot version 2.1? I have it and it works fine (as well as the emulator works now anyways)

 

[the_muteKi]

Are you on a n3ds?

 

[wiibomb]

this is working on my new 3ds, but when I try to load pokemon emerald it just gives me a white screen... I suppose it is not supported then

I had this problem as well. Advanced wars 2 did load.

 

[Gettwobirdsstone]

only works for N3DS at the moment same as CHMM and GameYob, assuming it the CPU in the N3DS.
